The Employee Advisory Resource (EAR) has launched a new scheme designed to help SMEs meet their staff's needs.

EAR have released statistics showing that the number of workers phoning their helpline regarding redundancy and contract termination has more than doubled since this time last year.

Calls about job anxiety and stress are also up more than 25% from the same period a year ago.

Many small businesses can struggle to deal with their employees needs due to a lack of resources.

Using a specific SME package is essential, as many generic packages are designed for companies with thousands of employees.
